Thanks for attending Mainstage 2006 in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. We hope you had a good time, and learned something! We are already planning changes to help make Mainstage 2009 in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows even better. These include moving the Green Room venue to within walking distance to the Ramada Hotel, moving the Awards Banquet and Ceremony to a larger, all-in-one facility, and changing the AGM time.

In order to better plan future Mainstage events, we need input from Theatre BC members. Please take the time to complete the following evaluation and, once you hit the SUBMIT button, it will be forwarded to John Stuart, MAINSTAGE 2006 Chair , or use the PDF form to print and mail it back to the Theatre BC office at PO Box 2031
Nanaimo, BC V9R 6X6
